This gorgeous Enhydro Herkimer Diamond quartz cluster is from The Herkimer Diamond Mines KOA Resort in Middleville, New York!
It is a cluster of over 20 crystals with countless tiny gems attached, with a total length of 3.86 inches. It has excellent clarity and luster with spectacular internal rainbows and light smoky phantoms as well as minor inclusions of black hydrocarbon and traces of golden Iron Oxide. The largest crystal measures 2 inches across and features a beautiful, perfect chisel tip termination. Sharp edges and terminations throughout.
Best of all, there is an Enhydro inclusion which contains a moving gas bubble with several tiny pieces of black hydrocarbon attached! There are a few very small areas of host rock contact on the back side, but this specimen has no damage! This cluster is appears much more clear in person, the sheer number of crystals piled on the cluster obscures the clarity.
As with almost all Herkimer Diamond cluster of this size, some reconstruction was required to prepare it.Mined by hand in the fall of 2023.
